So Pelosi is whining that when she told President Trump there was no way she’d agree to fund a wall, he just got up and walked straight the hell out of the meeting.

New York Times:

President Trump stormed out of a White House meeting with congressional leaders on Wednesday after Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would not fund a border wall even if he agreed to reopen the government, escalating a confrontation that has shuttered large portions of the government for 19 days and counting.

Stunned Democrats emerged from the meeting in the White House Situation Room declaring that the president had thrown a “temper tantrum” and slammed his hands on the table before leaving with an abrupt “bye-bye.” Republicans disputed the hand slam and blamed Democratic intransigence for prolonging the standoff.

When the meeting was over, talks to reopen the government appeared to be in disarray. The contentious, brief and futile session underscored an impasse that is looking each day like an insurmountable gulf between the two sides. Mr. Trump will visit the border on Thursday in McAllen, Tex., leaving little hope of a resolution for a shutdown that will tie the longest in the nation’s history on Friday.

“It wasn’t even a high-stakes negotiation; it was a petulant president of the United States,” Ms. Pelosi said as she returned to the Capitol. “A person who would say, ‘I’ll keep government shut down for weeks, months or years unless I get my way.’”

Mr. Trump called the exercise “a total waste of time.”

I wouldn’t even be promoting this if I were the Democrats.

Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!

I know they think that this “toddler with temper tantrums” line is good, and I’m also sure it’s tested really well in marketing groups with catladies, but there’s surely a ceiling on that when you apply it to general audiences. Furthermore, a focus group doesn’t necessarily imply a time-limit on a term, and I don’t think that “toddler temper tantrum” has the life of say “Russian collusion” or for that matter “manufactured crisis” – even with the Democrat target audience.

It seems that this term will eventually trivialize the whole thing further, which doesn’t really serve your purpose when you are trying to convince people that federal workers not getting paychecks or national parks having trash in them is something that normal people should be really, really concerned about and feel a sense of a need for immediate action on.

Cher has come out and said that Nancy should not die on the hill of the wall.

At least that is what Fox News is saying this series of tweets says.

I will just have to take their word on it, as I do not speak whatever you call the unique language of boomer internetspeak.

I know that the argument is that boomers never actually had to write during their adult lives and so just never developed the skill that the rest of us who grew up using typed speech more than spoken speech have, but it really is hard not to just believe that these people all have the minds of children.

As to why it matters what Cher says: she is the ultimate Queen of the catlady species of boomer.

She sung their divorce anthem (which she obviously didn’t write, as you can see from her twitter she is no more literate than your average nigger).

Which is underrated as one of the most poisonous pieces of culture ever.

Released in 1998, at the latter end of the boomer divorce boom, it was telling women in their 30s and 40s that it didn’t really matter if they got divorced, they could just go out and do “true love” again.

It really defined the culture of that period.

Wikipedia:

“Believe” reached number one in countries including Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Italy and the United States. It earned Cher a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest female solo artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and became the highest-selling single by a solo female artist in the United Kingdom. It is one of the bestselling singles, with sales of over 11 million copies worldwide.

As a casualty of the “fuck my children, I deserve infinite teenager-style joy” generation’s project, I remember seeing boomer women rocking this song nonstop, and I guarantee that it not only justified divorces for them, but actually encouraged a lot of them to go ahead and destroy their marriages.

There was a drop off in divorces going into 2000, because by that point most boomers were getting past the point where people have a desire to divorce. Divorce becomes less likely every year a couple is married (which is really the only piece of advice that any couple considering divorce needs).

Even the “fuck my kids” generation isn’t likely to get a divorce after 20 years.

Cher’s anthem was a form of social terrorism that ruined a whole helluva lot more lives than the 911 attacks.

Anyway, I’m not saying that all catladies are following Cher – though a whole lot of them are. But more importantly, she embodies the essence of the catlady soul. And if she is saying it, the catlady hivemind is shifting in that direction.

That is why it is relevant that she is coming out with this.

Of course, there is not really any room for Nancy and Chuck to reconsider at this point. All of their chips are on the table and once your chips are on the table you cannot pull them out – if you fold, you lose all your chips.

That is the way the game works.

For them to come out now and say “oh okay I guess we can build an immoral wall for the evil orange man” would be political suicide. Right at the beginning of their glorious reign in the House.

It would taint things much worse than John McCain tainted Trump’s agenda by fucking over his healthcare thing at the beginning of his term.

Furthermore, the Democrats are much more concerned about pleasing brown people than catladies at this point. That’s yet another place they’ve gone all in. And they know that no matter what, catladies are going to side with them over the evil patriarchal orange man that in their own psychology represents every single man that they blame for every single thing that has gone wrong in their lives.

I have no predictions as to whether or not Trump can actually get the wall money.

Right now, it looks like he probably will, because a bunch of government stuff that is going to affect Democrats a lot more than Republicans is getting ready to expire. Stuff that is a whole helluva lot more important than fed paychecks and national parks. Trump is saying food stamps for example might last through February, but won’t last through March.

Whatever happens, he is personally going to win, as long as he doesn’t crack. If Mitch McConnell cracks, Trump can force Congress to override his veto, which will buy him a huge amount of political capital – even without money for a wall.

The faces of Chuck and Nancy yesterday after their meeting with President Trump prove who is in charge here.

I support the government remaining shut down indefinitely, because there simply is no reason to do some other thing.

The Democrats are committed to reopening it, and they’re coming into power in the House with all of this big energy, and refusing to let them have this really demoralizes their base.

The Jewish media was claiming “you just wait, when Nancy gets in, she’s gonna get it all sorted out.” But that didn’t happen.

And no Republican cares about this. All of the feds affected are Democrats anyway. It’s Chuck and Nancy’s people who are being hit by this, and eventually they are going to be like “is flooding America with Central Americans really the most important thing on earth, Chuck and Nancy? What about your actual voters?”

Chuck and Nancy are saying “we’ll talk about the WALL funding when the government is reopened,” which is saying “give us all your leverage and then we’ll agree to negotiate with you.”

If I were Trump, I would start making more demands. I would say that for every week they refuse to give the 5 billion, he’s adding a billion.

Eventually, real stuff will be defunded, if this goes on long enough. But it’s all going to be Democrat stuff.

When the food stamp funding runs out – which apparently will happen at some point – Chuck and Nancy are going to have to explain to the blacks that they have to starve so that they can flood the country with illegal immigrants.

Black people don’t even like immigrants, let me tell you. And they will riot.

Trump needs to start spamming this video of Chuck talking about illegal immigration.

And ask him: what changed, Chuck?

Of course, we know what changed – they needed to build-up enough brown voters to shift away from their white base. But the average person sees that video – from 2009 – and their mind is totally blown.

Right now, it appears that Mitch McConnell won’t crack. He’s said flat out that he won’t override the president. That could change – I guess – but that is his position right now.

And by all accounts, this shutdown is extremely popular with Republicans.

It is certainly what we voted for.

McConnell is the weakest link at this point, for sure. And that’s the office everyone should be calling.

Trump was very confident at his press conference yesterday, and I think he’s separated himself from a lot of the most poisonous people and he’s ready to hold down the fort.

If McConnell breaks, however, Trump needs to make it clear that it was out of his hands. He absolutely should not make a deal based on the fact that McConnell is getting ready to crack. He should force a veto override. That would only make people love him more and hate the government more.

People are loving him now.

I’m loving him now more than I have in over a year.

This is what we voted for, and it should have happened earlier, but better late than never.

Still attempting to rattle the goyim with Jewish lies about how the government is “shutdown,” Chucky Schumer is making aggressive, hateful statements.

Neither he nor Nancy looked at all confident, however. In fact they looked worried.

CNN:

A meeting Friday between President Donald Trump and newly powerful Democrats ended in continued stalemate as a partial government shutdown wears on. Both sides emerged sounding entrenched, rendering an end to the impasse elusive.

Still, leaders announced that further discussions would occur over the weekend. And newly elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested Trump gained new understanding of Democrats’ position during the multi-hour meeting, held in the secure Situation Room.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, told reporters afterward the President indicated the deadlock could stretch to historic length.

Trump “said he’d keep the government closed for a very long period of time — months or even years,” according to Schumer.

The President offered a cheerier view of the session during an afternoon appearance in the Rose Garden.

“We had a very, very productive meeting and I think we’ve come a long way,” Trump said, adding later: “We’re all on the same path in terms of wanting to get government open.”

Nancy only took one question.

Trump did an hour long press conference, looking very happy and confident, taking all the questions, confirming he’ll keep this fake shutdown going for years if he does not get exactly five billion.

Trump is winning this.

And it is an important win, because it is the first big challenge of the new Democrat Congress. And the longer this goes on, the worse it looks for them. And it makes no difference to President Trump.

Because as I said earlier today, no one actually cares about this shutdown, other than the Jewish media, which is lying.

Chuck and Nancy should have announced that it was their plan to keep the government shutdown, then they could have pretended they were winning.

But the Democrats and the media told everyone to care about this, now they can’t fix it because of the rock/hard place nature of also declaring for years that a wall is evil.

I don’t know why they bet on having leverage here.

This was all very poorly planned on the part of Democrat strategists.

Are there even any Democrat strategists? Or do these people just read the WaPo and making decisions based on op-eds?

The media is flipping the hell out attempting to convince people that the government shutdown, which is not actually a government shutdown, is causing some kind of problem for them or for someone or something that matters in some way.

They’re making a big deal about “oh my sweet mother of Yahweh, the feds are starving to death in their fancy condos.” But also making other claims.

There are some recent headlines:

• ‘Our income has stopped’: shutdown leaves workers stressed and struggling
• ‘Women’s lives in danger’: Government shutdown holds up funds for sexual violence survivors
• Government shutdown could delay your tax refund
• Aviation system begins to feel stress from the shutdown, union leaders say
• National parks are getting trashed amid the government shutdown
• How The Federal Shutdown Is Affecting Health Programs
• Four Ways Government Shutdown Hampers U.S. Science Students Now
• Government Shutdown Leaves Workers Reeling: ‘We Seem to Be Pawns’

So it’s “oh my god the apocalypse.”

Mixed with “don’t you goyim feel bad for these poor feds?”

But the thing about that is: everyone can see there is no apocalypse, and perhaps the single remaining bipartisan issue in the United States of America is not having sympathy for federal employees.

So basically, the plot to get people to be upset over this fake shutdown has failed.

But the thing about this is: this cuts both ways.

If neither Democrats or Republicans care about this fake shutdown, there is no pressure on either side to get the government running again.

Which means this becomes an issue of who has the strongest will and the most dedication to their stated agenda.

And it isn’t the Republicans.

I maintain that Trump should force the Congress to override his veto on any bill that doesn’t contain 5 billion for the wall (and also has nothing to do with DACA or asylum seekers).

The government is still shut down and the Jewish media continues to whine about the starving feds who need their paychecks, because apparently most of the people who work for the federal government don’t have enough money to pay for a week’s worth of food. Also apparently, the Jewish media believes that normal people care if employees of the federal government starve to death.

The Washington Post has a piece up penned by the editorial board of Jews claiming that the solution is simple – the Democrats should just trade 5 billion in wall funding for all of the DACA babies – which they call “dreamers” because that sounds better than “drug-dealing rapists” – being legalized.

The Post Jews claim that both sides were ready to do such a deal earlier this year. In fact, that is yet another Jewish lie. Trump did offer them DACA, but he demanded in exchange $18 billion for the wall – which is more than half of it – and that basically all nonwhite immigration be totally outlawed. This most importantly included shutdowns on so-called “legal immigration,” which makes up most of our immigration and is in fact much more important than a wall.

During the height of the Mexican invasion during the Bush years, it was barely a million brown people that crossed the Mexican border every year, and most of them were literal “migrant workers” who would come seasonally to work on farms. We currently have a million people coming in every year through the various “legal” methods who do not leave and are often given citizenship.

There is no way that Trump can trade DACA amnesty for $5 billion in wall funding. People are stupid in general, and most simply do not understand that the real threat to America is legal immigration, but they aren’t stupid enough to think that $5 billion – about a fifth of the total cost of the wall – is worth trading DACA for – especially since DACA will eventually be overturned by the Supreme Court.

However, I am now fearing that Trump will do this, because he responds so much to pressure and poll numbers, and the media is going extra nuts attempting to convince people that Trump’s government shutdown is the apocalypse and that federal government employees are hours away from resorting to cannibalism.

He might think he can do that deal and walk away with a victory to claim.

I hope that if Trump was convinced by conservative media pundits to do the shutdown as the media keeps claiming (it’s probably partly true), the same people convince him not to do that deal. It would be better to have no funding for the wall than $5 billion and DACA.

Again: the most important part of his proposed DACA deal was that it shut down the green card system, the diversity lotto, the H1-B visas, the refugee programs, and every other “legal” invasion scheme. The wall is largely a symbolic gesture in the larger scheme of things, and speaks to the absolutely brainwashed nature of the mass of conservatives who believe that legal immigration is “okay.”

I remember before Trump having these conversations in Columbus, Ohio, and hearing people say “it’s the illegals that’s the problem” and replying “well what about all these Somalians?” People would look confused for a minute and then say “aren’t they illegal?”

Hearing them talk about “I just want it to be legal” is infuriating, as they do not have any clear explanation as to why they believe this, and the fact that there is virtually no difference between the two allows liberals to exploit their inability to explain a difference and make them look stupid.

Typical boomer Facebook meme. I am certainly not a Democrat, but I would also like the difference explained to me, because all I see are a bunch of brown people flooding my country to feed off the labor of my society. 

Trump has valiantly broached the topic of legal immigration, which has now shifted the discussion, but a lot of conservatives still don’t understand the difference (or lack thereof), which means that maybe if he got complete wall funding, he could get away with it. But right now we’re talking about this $5 billion going to replace fencing with “artistic steel slats.” So there is just no way.

At this point, yes, $25 billion for a solid concrete, Israel-type wall would possibly be worth trading DACA for, just so we get something.

Trump must offer nothing, at all, and just run this out until he wins or loses the ability to keep it going.

M’kay.

So.

The government has “entered a partial shutdown” after the Democrats refused to give Trump $5 billion to build a wall.

The media acts as though this is the end of the world.

Literally, they’re losing their minds.

However: who actually cares?

All of my friends and family work for a living, and I don’t care if government employees starve to death.

The term “shutdown” isn’t even true. Nothing important shuts down. It’s like, NASA and the National Park Services.

I wish the whole thing would shut down, but that isn’t even close to what it is. They keep talking about how people aren’t getting their paychecks, like they’re going to starve. Who lives literally paycheck to paycheck?

Yeah.

Well.

Okay.

But this is not about people starving to death, there are no cannibals, we have not been nuked.

This is simply about Trump realizing he has to do what we want him to do, what he promised us he would do, and the Democrats attempting to stop him.

Certainly, no one cares about $5 billion dollars.

It’s the battle of the century.

And it’s the moment of truth for Trumptown.

You took us this far, Mr. President.

Finish the job.

We

Want

A

Wall

UPDATE:

So this was expected.

Fox News:

The Senate on Friday was scrambling to take up a spending package with billions in funding for a border wall, amid ongoing negotiations to fund the government by midnight and President Trump acknowledged there’s a “good chance” a partial government shutdown will be triggered.

After keeping the vote open for five hours to secure enough support, the Senate finally advanced a House-approved spending bill with $5.7 billion for a border wall, after Vice President Mike Pence went to the Capitol to break a tie. That procedural hurdle paves the way for a final vote in the Senate.

If Congress doesn’t pass a spending bill by midnight, a partial government shutdown will go into effect.

In order to pass the actual bill, they need 60 votes, unless Mitch McConnell “goes nuclear,” in which case they can pass it with the same number of votes.

He’s said he won’t do that.

It is some issue of decorum. Some faggot thing probably invented by the British.

People are up on stage in the government house whining about how government employees won’t get money for Christmas.

Do you care about that?

Because I cannot imagine anyone cares about that.

Original article follows. 

Okay, so.

I expected him to crack.

But…

Senator Mitch McConnell should fight for the Wall and Border Security as hard as he fought for anything. He will need Democrat votes, but as shown in the House, good things happen. If enough Dems don’t vote, it will be a Democrat Shutdown! House Republicans were great yesterday!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018

The Democrats are trying to belittle the concept of a Wall, calling it old fashioned. The fact is there is nothing else’s that will work, and that has been true for thousands of years. It’s like the wheel, there is nothing better. I know tech better than anyone, & technology…..

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018

…..on a Border is only effective in conjunction with a Wall. Properly designed and built Walls work, and the Democrats are lying when they say they don’t. In Israel the Wall is 99.9% successful. Will not be any different on our Southern Border! Hundreds of $Billions saved!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018

No matter what happens today in the Senate, Republican House Members should be very proud of themselves. They flew back to Washington from all parts of the World in order to vote for Border Security and the Wall. Not one Democrat voted yes, and we won big. I am very proud of you!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018

The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED. If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018

Shutdown today if Democrats do not vote for Border Security!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018

Is this happening?

Reuters:

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday threatened a “very long” government shutdown just hours ahead of a midnight deadline, calling on the Senate to pass spending legislation that includes his $5 billion demand for border wall funding and seeking to shift blame for a holiday showdown to Democrats.

The Republican-led Senate had already approved funds for the government through Feb. 8 without money for the wall. But Trump pushed Republican allies in the House of Representatives on Thursday to use the short-term funding bill as leverage to force through the border wall money despite Democratic objections.

In a series of ten early-morning tweets on Friday, the president urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to take up the amended bill from the House. Trump, who last week said he would be “proud” to preside over a shutdown, sought to blame Senate Democrats, whose support is needed to reach the 60 votes needed for passage.

Republicans currently have a narrow 51-49 majority in the Senate.

…

Three-quarters of government programs are fully funded through next Sept. 30, including those in the Defense Department, Labor Department and Health and Human Services.

But funding for other agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and Agriculture Department, is set to expire at midnight on Friday. A shutdown would leave a number of federal workers without a paycheck at Christmas.

Is there a single person in this country who gives a shit if government workers don’t get paid?

More people care about double-pregnant Elsa.

And not many people care about that fat bitch, let me tell you.

If the House measure is put to a vote in the Senate, Democrats have pledged to prevent it from getting the votes it needs for passage.

“The bill that’s on the floor of the House, everyone knows it will not pass the Senate,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters late Thursday.

It was not yet clear what would happen in that case. The partial government shutdown could begin, or lawmakers could work to find a solution that Trump finds acceptable.

Trump also called on McConnell to use the so-called “nuclear option” to force a Senate vote on legislation with just a simple majority, rather than the 60 votes currently needed.

The nuclear option would allow the chamber to approve legislation with a simple majority in an extreme break from Senate tradition that McConnell has so far resisted.

Do it, Mitch.

Do whatever.

I don’t care about any of this bullshit, nor does anyone.

We just want one thing:

A WALL

I do not approve of this, and I don’t think a single Trump-supporter in America does.

Does Trump really have anything at all to lose at this point by vetoing it?

We all saw his meeting with Nancy and Chuck, where he said he’d veto it.

Fox News:

The Senate late Wednesday approved an interim spending bill that would keep several key departments of the federal government funded through February and avert a partial shutdown.

The legislation, which funds nine of 15 Cabinet-level departments and dozens of agencies, was passed by voice vote. It now heads to the House.

It is not clear whether President Trump will sign the bill if the House approves it since the measure does not provide any new funding for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. However, the White House signaled Tuesday that Trump did not want to drive a government shutdown over the issue, though the president said he’d be “proud” to do so just last week.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the Senate will remain in session Thursday. “We have to see what the House does,” he said. It was unclear how many House members would return to Washington for votes after Republicans lost the majority in the midterm election. Some 70 members missed Wednesday’s session, almost as many Democrats as Republicans.

The measure passed by the Senate does provide a total of $1.6 billion for border security and funds other agencies at current levels through Feb. 8, more than a month after the new Congress is sworn in.

In a statement, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., the leader of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said Trump’s supporters are “ready to fight on behalf of all the freedom-loving Americans to make sure we have secure borders.

Mr. President, we’re going to back you up,” Meadows said. “If you veto this bill we’ll be there. But more importantly the American people will be there. They’ll be there to support you. Let’s build the wall and make sure that we do our job in Congress.”

McConnell, though, portrayed the short-term spending measure as a “simple” bill that would show that Republicans, who control Congress now, will finish the year by not prolonging a potential crisis.

“Republicans will continue to fill our duty to govern,” he said.

Senate leaders had worked throughout the day Wednesday to forge an agreement to consider the measure, known as a continuing resolution, on the floor as a bipartisan group of lawmakers sought to include language reauthorizing a popular program that supports conservation and outdoor recreation projects. The Land and Water Conservation Fund expired Sept. 30, and they’ve been trying to extend it, but no agreement was reached and talks will continue.

The bill received unanimous consent shortly after 10 p.m. after a group of Democratic senators passed the time singing Christmas carols in the chamber. A few moments later, retiring Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., gaveled a procedural vote closed by suggesting “Rudolph” had voted present.

Well that’s pretty gay, Jeff.

You no who voted “nay”?

Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

The real subject of Christmas.

Congress previously passed legislation to fund much of the government – including the Pentagon and the departments of Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services – through the end of the federal fiscal year. The continuing resolution will take the place of seven appropriations bills for the various agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation, Interior, Agriculture, State and Justice, as well as national parks and forests.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said Trump had “held [the seven appropriations bills] hostage for $5 billion to try to wall off our southern border — a wall he promised American taxpayers that Mexico would pay for.”

The American people support invading Mexico and forcing them to pay for this wall.

With blood.

We will sell all their property to the Chinese, and sell their people into slavery in Africa and Arabia.

That would be a popular policy.

But instead we get continuing resolution and a law to let a bunch of negro criminals out of prison.

This is a failed government.

Republicans and Democrats MUST come together, finally, with a major Border Security package, which will include funding for the Wall. After 40 years of talk, it is finally time for action. Fix the Border, for once and for all, NOW!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 23, 2018

He’s already a couple of years in and The Wall is nowhere to be seen while caravans of orcs march north towards America.

The Hill:

Trump has kept the door open to a potential government shutdown if an upcoming deal to fund parts of the government does not include funding for a border wall. Congress has until Dec. 7 to fund the rest of the government after lawmakers punted on seven of the 12 individual funding bills before the end-of-the-fiscal-year deadline.

Remember your words, Mr. President.

JUST IN: President Trump announces he is signing the $1.3 trillion spending bill passed by Congress this week despite misgivings because he wants to "take care of our military.”

Trump warned Congress: “I will never sign another bill like this again.” https://t.co/oCMuKedwhP pic.twitter.com/V65UIPtmFJ

If there’s no funding for The Wall, don’t sign it. You promised. Shut it down if you have to. Shut it all down.

Keep it shut down for as long as it takes. Take a stance. Make your move. It’s time.

There’s barbarians at the gate, except there’s no gate because you haven’t put it there yet.

Your people could use a wall and a nice gate right about now.

You could have gotten on Patreon or something to crowd-source The Wall right after you won the elections, Mr. President, and we’d be in a much better position right now. Americans would fund it. Some may say “that’s not very presidential,” but you know what? Fuck presidential etiquette. We’re at war. We need a commander. We need a king. We don’t need glorified puppets in a suit.

Yes. This is war. We’re fighting. All the time. Maintaining peace is a constant battle against Chaos.

But what we have now isn’t peace, it’s a show meant to distract you from the war fought behind your back, in the shadows. People twiddling their thumbs without realizing their enemies are making moves doesn’t make it peace. Anesthetized people can still be attacked and hurt.

It’s time to wake up. Think outside of the jew-box.

muh funding

Fuck the funding.

Just do it, Mr. President.

Order your people to build it. Literally.

“I hereby grant permission to my followers to unite and build The Wall.”

People will organize and fund it themselves. They’ll build it themselves. Plenty of capable blue-collar workers. Just throw some guidelines, safety stuff for the construction and then some supervision framework to enforce it, and let people follow it.

The Wall circus has to stop. It has to be built now.

AND IT HAS TO BE TEN FEET TALLER!

We’ll miss you, Wasteland.

Just as the American people were starting to enjoy the hellish world run by cannibal rape-gangs, the government has started back up.

Trump won, at least.

Though I would have preferred to just keep the hellscape.

US federal workers prepared to return to work Tuesday after Congress ended a three-day government shutdown, with President Donald Trump claiming victory in his standoff with Democrats.

The House voted 266 to 150 to extend federal funding for another three weeks, hours after Senate Democrats dropped their opposition to the plan after winning Republican assurances of a vote on immigration in the coming weeks.

Trump signed the measure into law Monday night and government operations were essentially to return to normal on Tuesday.

“I know there’s great relief that this episode is coming to an end,” House Speaker Paul Ryan told colleagues. “But this is not a moment to pat ourselves on the back. Not even close.”

The stalemate consumed Washington for the better part of a week, as lawmakers and the White House feuded over immigration policy and the nation’s two main political parties exchanged bitter barbs before finally reaching a deal.

The shutdown began at midnight Friday and thus affected only one regular workday — Monday — but it made both parties look bad. If it had continued, hundreds of thousands of federal employees would have been furloughed.

Democrats decided to end the shutdown after making progress with ruling Republicans toward securing the fate of hundreds of thousands of so-called “Dreamers” brought to America as children, many of them illegally. They had been protected from deportation under an Obama-era program known as DACA, which Trumps wants to end.

With Democratic support, a bill keeping the government funded until February 8 easily passed the Senate, where different versions of the funding had languished for days.

Word of the compromise deal struck in Washington sent US stocks surging to new highs.

Earlier, the White House appeared in no mood for bipartisanship or magnanimity after a shutdown that overshadowed Trump’s first anniversary in office.

Trump moved to undercut Democrats, saying he would only accept a comprehensive immigration reform — one that notably addresses his demands for a border wall with Mexico as well as the fate of the “Dreamers.”

“We will make a long-term deal on immigration if, and only if, it is good for our country,” he said in a statement.

And in a tweet late Monday, he again cried victory over the Democrats.

“Big win for Republicans as Democrats cave on Shutdown,” he wrote on Twitter.

Trump added: “Now I want a big win for everyone, including Republicans, Democrats and DACA, but especially for our Great Military and Border Security. Should be able to get there. See you at the negotiating table!”

My analysis here is that Trump is accurate in saying he won.

Big win for Republicans as Democrats cave on Shutdown. Now I want a big win for everyone, including Republicans, Democrats and DACA, but especially for our Great Military and Border Security. Should be able to get there. See you at the negotiating table!

I am seriously serious when I say that I do not think he’s going to cave on DACA. The Democrats simply expect him to, because anyone else would have, so they did this shutdown.

Then people are like “wait, are you seriously shutting down the government for the benefit of non-Americans? Really?” and so they were forced to back-off.

They were mainly using the threat of shutdown as a threat, and Trump called the bluff all the way through.

Trump walks away the hero who kept DACA out and the Democrats not only lost, but showed they were unwilling to stand behind their own principles of “America belongs to all people, as long as they’re not white.”

So this is a major win. Honestly, it’s probably Trump’s biggest win since he’s been president – both because he beat DACA and because he forced the Democrats to blink.
